[alsa-devel] Some drivers don't create all necessary sysfs symlinks
Hi!
Apparently not all ALSA drivers set the "device" symlink properly. This creates problems with HAL which then is unable to manage permissions to those files properly. One example of such a driver is EMU10K1X.
For more information, see:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=370821#c26
Also reported on the ALSA BTS:

Fixed for emu10k1x now. I thought I had fixed all drivers but this one seems forgotten.
thanks,

Hmm, is it possible that sb16 has similar issues?
There have been some reports that HAL doesn't discover sb16 devices correctly either:

No, sb16 should have already the sysfs device link.
